Sniff Sniff

So, I'm on maintenance chemo (which doesn't have side effects - yay!) and headed out for treatment this morning.  Was crawling down my pot-holed street when I remembered that I hadn't put my numbing cream on.  I have a chemo port in my chest and they have to puncture me each time to draw blood and pump in chemicals.  And it smarts.  So I have a cream that I'm supposed to put on about an hour ahead of time to numb it up a little.   You can't drive down my street faster than a couple miles per hour these days so I just rummaged around in my purse with one hand while keeping my eyes on the road, found and opened a tube by feel, and smeared a goodly glob on.  Without looking.  Sniff sniff.  Sniff sniff.  Mint?  I don't remember that stuff smelling like mint...


I thought I took the travel size stuff out of my purse when I got out of the hospital...
